No standard ones from Wemoto but asked for EBC as replacements.
The chap at Wemoto said it looks like i didn't fit them correctly so they came out but i have covered over 100 Miles since fitting them with no problems so if i fitted them wrong surely they would of fallen out a lot sooner?

How come the backing plate on the left hand one is bent at the "loop" where the pin should go through?

That happened when it somehow got pulled out of the caliper? I could understand them failing if not fitted properly but i have had over 100 miles worth of use out of them with no problems so cant think why they would decide to brake now with no reason?


Hopfully they will be sending me EBC Organic pads to replace these.
